Hi Tricia,
since you are off herceptin, have you considered a clinical trial such as lapatinib or one of the HER2 vaccine trials? I'm sure these have some measure of therapeutic value of they wouldn't be offered . My suggestion would be that you go to the NCI web site and review the clinical trials (non-invasive) that apply to HER2 BC that is NED.

What you probably need to do is give your heart a rest BUT also but yourself some more time until the cardio thing improves. All the supplements you are taking make sense. I would probably add three things: curcumin, which is gaining a reputation as a cyto-toxic herb specifically active in HER2; immune boosting mushrooms such as maitake and an and an adaptogen such as rhodiola rosia.

Good luck and keep us posted
